The Holy City of JERUSALEM is sacred to followers
of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Located here are the
world's most respected and revered institutions. The highlight
of any visit is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
and the holiest site in Christendom, the Western (Wailing)
Wall, most sacred Jewish relic in the world and the
Dome of the Rock, the spot from where the Prophet
Mohammed made his night ascent to heaven. Within the walled
Old City, lies the Via Dolorosa (the path taken
by Jesus to the Cross). Tours are available that take
in many of the other sites both in the town and surrounding
area.
